That one picture of her with the sunglasses is pretty awesome haha. hallie looks realy cute, im excited to see pictures when she gets a little bigger. I cant wait to hear about candace's baby! whats the date again? thats sooo great. ahh it sounds like your all doing well though and are all spread out. north Carolina sounds fun and NH? how was jays wedding? haha that punk still hasnt written me. I guess he's been busy though. wow i can't believe hes married. So ben went to NH? did he go off the top of the ropeswing? (that seems to say a lot about the person) Just trying to figure this guy out. Still waiting onthat letter from price btw... haha
So transferrs came and im staying! im soooo happy. i love it here haha i dont want to leave this area. I do think its my last transfer here though. So i didnt get to write too much last week but there has been so much going on. So I dont know if i told you anything about Soledad but shes amazing! ok, so we were looking for this one person in a confusing complex and knocked on the wrong door. But the door we knocked on was this lady named soledad. She let us in and we started just talkin to her and her 2 friends that were there. We were talking and having a good time until she told us her situation. Her husband had a stroke last year and isnt all mentally there. He hasnt worked since. All their bills are up and they are all about to get kicked out of the apartment and they have no where to go. She started crying. it was really hard to see. She is carrying the weight of everyone in her family. her husband really isnt there. She's scared and doesnt really know what to do. At first we just cheered her up and make her feel a little better. We did a fun lesson with a cool demonstration about faith. She said she felt a lot better and said we were angels god sent to her. haha well we've been going back a lot since and meeting with her and her brother. at first just trying to make her feel better and show we care about her. Then she asked us to teach her about our message and the book of mormon. ahhh it was amazing. So we taught her and her brother and it went soooo well. The spirit was really strong and their both excited to read and to pray. Ok and then shes got this son whos like 22 and really cool. At first he thought we were weird but he said he's seen us helping out his mom and stuff and really likes us now. Hes such a cool kid. He's kinda hood and im pretty sure in a gang haha but i really like him. and now other kids in the gang like us too! yeaaa, were geting some respect! hhaha they like us now. and the kid (mario) raps and is amazing. He's so good. he raps for us and in one of his raps talks about having mormons in the house, rays of hope or something! haha yea!!! But i love that family. And we've talked with the ward and were gonna try to get members to bring them food.
There are so many people i wanna talk about and things that have happened but theres never enough time. But we taught the familia flores yesterday and it was amazing! ahhhhh i love this family so much i cant even tell you. They are soo cute and humble. Their the ones we gave a blessing to the daughter when she was REALLY sick and now shes better! and we got to teach them yesterday and it was amazing! were taking it really slow with them. ahh i just want you all to meet them! Also, Pierre had been looking for a job for like 3months and couldnt find one and was really down about it. So we fasted with him for a day and the next dy he got a job! ahhh it was sooo great! And Juan Chavez is great and coming to church! and Lily and her family are amazing! ahh theres so much i wanna talk about.
I hope you got that recorder thing. I talked a bunch in it and sent it home.
Everything is so great though, i love it. Its really weird, i feel like i've been a missionary my entire life. Like a dont remember stuff before. I dont remember music i listened to or movies or stuff I used to do....anything. Its really hard to explain but its amazing. I'm lovin it
Thanks for writing and keep em coming! Candace, good luck with having the baby! and meagan with the surgery! your in my prayers! love you all
